Simple Win 10 customization help please...
I just purchased a Dell/Windows 10 laptop. I have everything working technically. Using Thunderbird for email. Wanted to use Edge for a browser but moved to Chrome and Thunderbird for reason stated below. Running Libreoffice. Those are the main apps.
Am having a very difficult time creating a simple theme that works across all of these. Desktop, Thunderbird, Chrome/Firefox and Libreoffice… have spent two days trying to select a theme that gives enough contrast so one is able to see menu selections, etc. The default theme was too muted. I discovered, jaw dropped gobsmacked is a better phrase for it.. that MS Edge only has two themes. And that the system-wide theme does not translate down to the browser. Seriously thought this is a joke, but nawp. So had to toss Edge.
But am having a devil of a time trying to just hit on a simple theme, that works systemwide, and goes down into these apps. So my question is… anyone recommend a Tutorial or How To on MS Win 10 theme/color customization? Am really struggling to come up with a simple layout, mainly color. I was able to get a functional theme in Windows, but for instance, when dropping into Firefox, I cannot see simple entry boxes. They are the same color as the background. Have tried a bazillion combinations of Win 10 themes, Firefox tweaks, Chrome tweaks… and am just spinning my wheels. I have searched for tutorials but have yet to find anything reasonable yet.
Navigating themes and colors in Win 10 is so non intuitive, I cannot figure out how to just get back to default settings. Or can you?
Recommendations on anything that presents a simple how to manipulate themes/colors, etc? Across Win 10 and apps. Am a Linux person since the early 90s and am fluid in that environment. But have to admit, Windows is funky at best. Non intuitive.
Help?
